Loud-ass Americans on the train
masks littering the ground
train station platforms, convenience stores clogged with lobotomized phone-gazers
faceless masked faggots for the new disease
(my soul yearns for faces)
whatever it may be
flaming addicts for the newest fear
hashtag “metoo,” BLM, and Trump demonstrators stand around and march around like confused children
Borrowing scandalized offense from overseas
Jesus christ. Where can I go now?
And the litter all over the riverside ain’t mainly
from foreigners.
Welcome to the “enshittification”
happens as economies fail
and psychopaths restrict free trade
atomize/force integrate/force disintegrate people
kill freely grown cultures
happens under supremacist ideology
adopted by the masses it destroys
I won’t name it
But I reckon you can guess
service degrades
resentment builds
poor people fight one another while the puppeteer
parasites
collect the gold

New Normal became the norm
But it’s never too late to resist
Maybe it has always been this way
Our eyes and minds notice more as we gracefully age
Yet jaundiced with all that engulfs us
Regret punches hard, downwards through my stomach
of what could have been
but still could
if we try

This is beautiful, man. Yes. I’d say there’s always a shaft of light somewhere in situations like these. A pinhole we can tear wider open.
